Sorry I can't help with identifying. Maybe you can send an email to Trade Winds Fruit for inquiry. They are specialized in tropical fruit seeds.

I'm thinking Medlar too, need a better look at the leaf. I thought of Medlar being in a cooler climate though.

Our inability to change everything should not stop us from changing what we can.

The fruit resemble guavas which are a member of the myrtle family. However, am unable to identify the exact species.

Try searching myrtaceae fruit images for a match.

It might be in the rose apple family

We've got a fruit like that here in southern south america that is a myrtacea, very similar fruit (gabiroba, campomanesia spp.), but the leaf pattern and bark are different.

rose apple looks right, but it would help to know the size of the fruit.
